Parent-child showerhead

Abstract

A parent-child showerhead includes a wall-mounted showerhead, a hand-held showerhead, and a showerhead bracket. The wall-mounted showerhead is fixed on a conduit extending from a wall and connects to the hand-held showerhead via a hose. The showerhead bracket is provided for the hand-held showerhead to hang thereon. The wall-mounted showerhead has a water diverter disposed therein for controlling the spray water from the wall-mounted showerhead or the hand-held showerhead or from both of them. The water diverter has an adjusting knob for changing a direction of the water flow, and the adjusting knob is located on the wall-mounted showerhead at side close to a user, which is convenient for users to operate. The showerhead bracket is disposed at a lower position of the wall-mounted showerhead, and has a receptacle. The receptacle is in a pivoted state to adjust an angle and provide the hand-held showerhead to be engaged therein.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a parent-child showerhead, and in particularly to an integrated showerhead structure, which is easily installed and convenient in operation.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Nowadays, a bathroom is generally equipped with a shower device. In order to cater different users' requirements, the current shower devices are substantially divided into two types: fixed (wall-mounted) showerhead and removable (hand-held) showerhead. Besides, some of the current shower devices are provided by equipping both of a fixed (wall-mounted) showerhead and a removable (hand-held) showerhead for users to select. Therefore, many techniques have been published in order to achieve the above objective, which are descried as following.[0005]In US Patent Publication No. US2005 / 0098661A1, a conduit firstly connects to a fluid diverting element, and meanwhile the fluid diverting element connects to a fixed (wall-mounted) fl...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a showerhead assembly that integrates a wall-mounted showerhead, a hand-held showerhead, and a showerhead bracket, making it easier to assemble and operate. The showerhead assembly allows for parent-child bathing, with the wall-mounted showerhead controlling the water flow towards the wall-mounted showerhead or the hand-held showerhead. The hand-held showerhead has a water diverter with a slantwise inlet and a small front cover with water outlet holes for spraying water. The showerhead bracket includes a connecting pipe, an external pipe, a receptacle, and a hose. The front cover member has an inlet hole for water line mode and an inlet hole for massage mode. The water diverter has a body, a cover plate, and water-stop blocks. The front cover member has an inlet hole for water line mode and an inlet hole for massage mode. The showerhead assembly allows for simple structure, easy assembly, and convenient operation.

Problems solved by technology

However, the fluid diverting element is disposed outside the fixed fluid dispensing unit and the structure thereof is complicated.

Besides, during the period of installation, the fixed fluid dispensing unit must be removed first, and as a result, the above structure is not convenient in usage.

Furthermore, the fluid diverting element is disposed behind the fixed fluid dispensing unit, which causes some inconveniences in operation.

Additionally, the removable fluid dispensing unit is engaged in the recess of the fixed fluid dispensing unit, and the angle thereof cannot be adjusted.

Even the above structure is convenient to change the direction of the water flow through the water diverter, it still have some issues, such that when the parent and their children use the structure together, in order to prevent the child from playing with the removable showerhead under the curious motivation and naughty feature, the parent (adult) should pay attention to the child all the time when taking a bath, and thus avoiding the accidents caused by water spraying (when hot water is sprayed) or influencing the use of the fixed showerhead.

Therefore, it has become an urgent issue in this field to provide a showerhead having a simple structure, being conveniently operated, enabling the user to enjoy the fun of parent-child bathing and lowering the risks caused by improper operations.
